Is Season 5 of The Walking Dead worth watching?

[Messiah]

I started watching The Walking Dead around October last year and I really enjoyed it. I loved it, actually. Season 1 and Season 2 were great, Season 3 was good. However, Season 4 had to be the biggest pile of crap I have ever watched. The first half of the season is mediocre and then it just falls off a cliff in the second half. I was nearly bored to death watching some of the episodes and skipped a lot of parts. Basically just read Walking Dead's wikia to see what I skipped past in an episode. Season 4 ended on a good note, but the show left too much of a bad taste in my mouth for me to bother any further.

Is Season 5 an improvement or is it more or less the same?

The first half of the season is filler, there's a handful of interesting things that happen therein but it's about two episodes worth of actual content padded out with a lot of shite. The second half of the season got back on track and back to the source material, that's some pretty good stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing where that picks up.

Yes it is. You should watch it.

While I admit that season 4 wasn't as good as previous seasons, I certainly wouldn't say it was the biggest pile of crap I have ever watches. The thing with season four is that is was mot filler and it was slow paced. I can see why some people might have been bored because there were a few episodes I found to be boring. But it contained a lot of character development for almost every character, which isn't a bad thing. But season 5 is definitely an improvement.

Season 5 is by far my favorite season of the show. I thought season 2 was a stinking pile of shit though, so we may have different tastes.

I also thought S2 was bollocks. Did you like that hospital shit in S5? Seemed like a big ol' waste of time to me.

It was a waste of time considering the outcome. Overall the season was good though.

I differ from most though with season 4, i found it to be rather enjoying and really helped development for the show and characters. The show cant be all zombie herds, Daryl and rick, it has to slow down from time to time or else the fans will get turned off by the repetition. Having a season focus on individual character development with the occasional mega violence allows them to get people more invested in the program but provides the wow factor now and then to not loose any.

Well not to spoil it to you. I thought you should watch it since if you jump into season 6 this weekend you might not know small things that happened in the season that might help clear up story lines since there have been some character encounters but you will have to watch it to find out what happened with out giving anything away
